Join Travolta

These Tactics Just Ain’t Fair

Strange though it may seem, one of Bollywood's biggest stars is promoting a skin-lightening cream. In a 40-second advertisement for Fair and Handsome, an Indian product, a dark-skinned man who has no luck with women is handed the cream by actor Shahrukh Khan, with some mild admonishment. Weeks later, the confident, paler young man struts like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, with girls flocking and chanting: ``Hi, handsome.'' The ad appears on YouTube.

FOOTNOTE: That’s not Grease enlightening.

Trivia Pur$uit

The legs shown walking down the street in the opening scene of the hit film `Saturday Night Fever' were not John Travolta's but those of his stand-in, Jeff Zinn.
